Our next stop is Pasadena where the venerable Kennel Club of Pasadena held sway for two days last weekend. On day one David Bolus gathered the English Setter, GCH CH Oakley’s B’Dazzled, the Bloodhound, GCH CH Quiet Creek’s Kiss and Tell, the Boxer, GCH CH R and G’s Mystic Dancer, the Wire Fox Terrier, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky, the Maltese, GCH CH Scylla’s Small Kraft Re-Lit, the Miniature Poodle, GCH CH Durandel Bella Donna, and the Old English Sheepdog, GCH CH Barkshire’s Nick of Time.

His Best was the Boxer, Danny. Danny and breeder/owner/handler Kimberlie Steele-Gamero have been storming the wall of the Top Ten for some time now. Did they make it in with their fifth BIS of the year? Check back with us tomorrow and we will tell you.

Sunday William Russell would see the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Saffire's Shining Knight, the same Bloodhound, Boxer, Wire, & Maltese, the Tibetan Terrier, GCH CH Players Paint A Picture, and the Bearded Collie, GCH CH Wigglesworth Thriller.
